Former Residence of Liang Qichao, National heritage site in Xinhui, China.
The Former Residence of Liang Qichao is in Chakeng village, Huicheng subdistrict, Xinhui district, Jiangmen, Guangdong. Built during the Guangxu reign of the Qing dynasty, the 412-square-metre brick-and-timber complex comprises the residence, the Yitang study hall and a connecting corridor, in a local traditional dwelling style.
The house was built during the Qing Dynasty and belonged to an intellectual who advanced modernization through his writings and political activities. His ideas about constitutional reform and education shaped Chinese thinking in the early 20th century.
The rooms display personal items and manuscripts that offer insight into the thinking of an influential figure in the Chinese reform movement. Visitors can see how this intellectual shaped his daily life and what ideas drove his work.
The site is easily accessible and opens with tours in Mandarin several days a week. Visitors should arrive in the morning to explore the exhibits without rushing and allow enough time for all the courtyards when visiting in warm weather.
The compound includes Yitang Study Hall and a covered corridor, not just the house itself. At the village entrance stands the Kuilou, commonly called Wenchang Pavilion, which later housed the Hongwen Community School. The whole group was built in the Guangxu reign of the Qing dynasty and covers 412 square metres in brick and timber.
